Supporting Equity and Access in the San Juan Unified School District
Derk Garcia, Interim Chief Academic Officer
LCFF and LCAPThrough the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)
flexibility and Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) requirements, Local Education Agencies (LEA) and schools are being held accountable for their allocation and implementation of funding/resources to support increased student learning for all students - specifically for targeted groups of students.
LCFF Policy Goals and FeaturesPerformance and accountability with greater
flexibility to meet districts’ and schools’ unique student needsIncrease transparency and reduce complexityImprove local accountabilityImprove funding equity across districtsAbility to use LCFF funds for school and district-
wide purposes
LCFF Policy Goals and FeaturesDesigned to improve student outcomes
Student performance drives program and budgetary decisions
LCFF basic grant addresses the needs of all studentsLCFF supplemental grant targets lowest performing
students and subgroupsEnglish Learners, students of poverty, foster youth
Concentration grants for districts with poverty populations above 55%
LCFF Policy Goals and FeaturesTo attain these goals, the LCFF:
Eliminates Revenue Limits and almost all categorical programs, except those established by state initiative, federal statutes, or court orders or settlements
Establishes base grants for four grade spans which will provide absolute dollar equalization at full implementation (eight years)K-3, 4-6, 7-8, 9-12
K-3 Class Size Reduction – FundingThe LCFF provides a 10.4% increase to the K-3 base grant to reduce K-3
enrollment (including Transitional Kindergarten [TK]) to an annual average of no more than 24 students per class, the “24 Track”Based on the $6,952 per ADA 2013-14 base grant, this equates to
$723 per ADADistricts are expected to reach the maximum average enrollment of no
more than 24 students At each school site By the time the LCFF is fully implemented (planned for 2020-21) Unless an alternative is locally negotiated
Adult EducationThe State Budget requires maintaining the status quo for
existing K-12 and community college adult education programs for two years
The proposal allows school districts to retain authority to continue existing adult education programs Over time, the expectation is to join a regional adult
education consortium in order to: Gain access to additional dedicated adult education funding Ensure coordination with other local adult education providers
Local Control Accountability Plan
What do we need to do?On or before July 1, 2014, and every three years
thereafter, LEAs must adopt the LCAP using the template adopted by the State Board of Education (March 2014)
The LCAP must include a description of the following:Annual Goals
Based on data analysis specific to the eight state priorities for all students and “numerically significant subgroups” Numerically significant: defined as 30 students with valid test
scores at the school or school district – with the following exceptions Foster youth – 15 or more students
